Setting up identities

- If you log into LastPass…from multiple locations, such as home and work,…then identities might be a useful feature for you.…Identities are basically a way of hiding…some of your logins, while keeping others in sight.…For example, when you're logged in as your work identity,…you'll see all your work related logins,…while logins in your home identity are hidden from view.…Identities are also useful if you wanna share a LastPass…account between family members.…You can easily have separate identities for each member,…so they can only see their own.…Make sure to require a master password re-prompt,…which I talk about later in this movie,…if you want to keep your other identities private.…

A: LastPass made some
minor changes to the application after this course was recorded. The updates
are primarily cosmetic and don't affect overall functionality. Here are the
changes:

The order of the items in the left-hand menu is slightly different,
and Settings was renamed Account Settings.

The folder icons in the vault have a slightly different look.

The security login option for grid authentication is no longer
offered in the Account Settings' Security tab; it is only in the Multifactor
tab.

The security keyboard is no longer a grey button under the login,
but a keyboard icon within the password box.

Menus in the Tools menu open a bit differently, though all items
are in the same order and have the same names.

The popup box to share a login has a slightly different look and
no longer shows the option of sharing a password only or a full login.

In the top menu, they added a Credit Monitoring option and moved
the Tutorials option to the left-side menu.

When adding a login, the Add to Favorites option is now at the top
of the dialogue box and the other settings are accessed by clicking a link at
the bottom called Advanced Settings. Previously, they were always
visible.
